Wow, didn't see that at first! As an artist I can say there are some
problems in design. I would not be so brutality blunt as Jukka but his
point is valid.
To OP if you want to do such as a "watermark" with text overlaid you
have to make special considerations with the image. If the recognition
of the image is important and not just an abstract design then your
image should be clearer in its design. Maybe a touch of green fill to
the land-side and blue to the gulf-side to improve recognition that we
are looking at a coastline and not a doodle. The fill could quickly fade
if your wish to emphasize the coastline. Next because this image is
deployed as a watermark you need to modify it so it does not obscure the
text. Desaturate the color and|or lower the contrast and|or blur and
soften the image.

Another possibility, but I still say if this is supposed to be the Texas
coastline it should clear as to what we are looking at.
